SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 794,028, dated July 4., 1905. Application filed May 15, 1905. Serial No. 260,547.

To (11/ whom H; Ina/y (Jo/warn:

lie it known that l, ltouinu'r .lt. Km'rz, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mcriden, in the county of New Haven and State of (Jonnecticut, have invented a new and useful .lm-

provcment in Bulbs for llncandcscen t Electric Lamps; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the numerals of refer- 1 once marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-

lligure 1, a side View of an arm or bracket I 5 with an incandescent electric lamp constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2, a sectional View of the fixture, showingmy improved bulb therein.

T his invention relates to an improvement .20 in bulbs for incandescent electric lamps.

in the use of incandescent electric lamps it is desirable that the arm or bracket in which the bulb is mounted should represent the stem of a llower and with the bulb suggest the idea of a blossom.

Tlhc object of this invention is to further carry out this idea; and it consists in arranging within the bulb a series of glass stems representing the stamens of a flower; and the '0 invention consists in certain details 011. construction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and particularly recited in the claim.

lln carrying out my invention the arm or bracket 2 may be of any approved design representing a particular flower or a conventionalized llowcr stem and. blossom. l Vithin the bracket is the usual socket 3, into which the threaded end l of the usual incandescent electric bulb 5 is secured, the connection through 40 the bracket to the filament (i being of usual construction and forming no part of this invention. As usuallyconstructed these bulbs are formed at their upper ends with a glass chamber 7, through which the ends of the lilament 6 extend. To the outside of such a chamber l secure a series of glass stamens 8, more or less in number, and, if desired, carrying anthers 9. These stamens are arranged around the filament and are differentiated in length and may be colored, so as to imitate the stamens of a blossom. Preferably these stamens will be secured to the mount or stem 7 before the end of the bulb is contracted. Instead of securing the stamens to the exterior 5 5 ot' the mount 7 they may be secured to the usual plug, which is connected with the upper end of the bulb. By providing the bulb with these stamens the idea of representing a flower by a bracket and incandescent bulb is still further carried out.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent. is-

A bulb for incandescentelectric lamps hav- 5 ing a series of stems secured within it and surrounding the carbon filament therein, substan: tially as described.

In testimony whereof l have signed this specification in the presence of two subscrib- 7 ing witnesses.
